No screenshot needed. I meant that in general, sorry, I didn’t mean you personally.
Ok. More spin, you love that don’t you. When did this become about Michael being convicted of making child porn?
Was Traci Lords prosecuted for making porn when she was underage? She did the same thing Thierry and Brent did and weren’t prosecuted. When sexting and revenge porn started to become a big then prosecutors began to start charging the teenagers themselves to show that even them making the images/media themselves it’s illegal and didn’t need a third party for a crime to have occurred. Michael could be prosecuted, as a member here who wanted to change the subject to avoid Michael possibly getting into trouble acknowledged. It still doesn’t absolve anyone of having those videos because now we know, JSL, that it contains an underage individual.
Spin? You're the one who keeps shifting your argument when your evidence fails to support your claim. No one, and certainly not I, has made conviction a prerequisite for anything. You claimed minors are prosecuted for disseminating pornographic images of themselves. I pointed out that all of your examples are cases where a second minor is targeted or is otherwise sent the images, which is not MH's situation. Then, you shift to examples of guys who lied about their age to porn companies. I point out that they/the minors were not prosecuted and therefore their cases don't support your claim that minors are prosecuted for general distribution of porn. Now, you twist the non-prosecution into the straw argument no one made -- that we're resting on a lack of convictions against the minors.
You are like a dog with a bone. You've made your arguments. I've made mine. Other readers can see them and decide which arguments are more tenable. Give it a rest.
